66 Lina Forrestal: A New Mamas Story of Postpartum Anxiety, Body Image, and Inner Child Wounds

Lina Forrestal is a globetrotter turned mama, hobby farmer, motherhood blogger, and host of the New Mamas podcast. The New Mamas podcast is a space created to give first time moms a voice and to have honest and raw conversations about motherhood. We discuss her physical and mental postpartum experience, how she coped, starting therapy, and what she’s learned about her own childhood since becoming a mother. We talk about postpartum body image, loaded language around pregnancy, food, and exercise, and how she’s learned to love herself.

“I started therapy and then everything started to get better. It sounds simple but I really put in the hard work.” - Lina Forrestal
